I got recommended a YouTube video where a middle-aged guy talks about reading JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Volume 1 for the first time, but he's very obviously just reading a ChatGPT summary of it and nobody in the comments is bringing it up. I feel like I'm going insane.
I would actually argue that indie studios streamlining their animation pipelines and making TV-quality work efficiently on a fraction of the budget is, in and of itself, pushing the medium of animation forward.
My opinion (that nobody asked for) is that traditional definitions like this fundamentally do not graft cleanly onto indie animation. There are nuances of network pilots that do not need to be replicated by indie animation, because network pilots are made for a network.
Whether or not these episodes are good episodes, or good pitches of the material, is another thing entirely. But clearly, they are pilots, since they're made with the intent of determining whether the pipeline is viable, and whether there is an audience to warrant a full series.
Btw I was like, *this* close to making my SBR ED "Jesus, Etc." by Wilco instead of "I'll be Lucky Someday", and if I had to put money on what they'll actually use for the adaptation, it'd probably be that.
